Mule Reviews:

“Woods as a writer has a good nose for picking issues that work on stage, while as director she has the ability to bring out the best in her actors”

★★★★ REMOTEGOAT

“Captivating drama and very slick two-hander with the two actors slipping seamlessly into different roles”

★★★★ LONDONTHEATRE1

“A seriously great production from start to finish…truly harrowing tale of the times we live in”

★★★★ ESSENTIAL SURREY

An intriguing and cleverly executed two hander”

★★★★ THREE WEEKS:

“The fickle nature of social media is intelligently examined, with its initial role as a force for goodbeing quickly turned on its head. At its heart, this is a play about perceptions, which might just encourage you to think a little more before passing judgment.”

★★★★ THE NATIONAL:

”A fizzing, highly-provocative piece that captures the pair in all their human complexity”

★★★★ NOUSE:

“Compelling show… Mule speaks to the humanity…often left behind by the headlines”

Belfast Boy Reviews:

“The script represents a marvelous achievement in narrative flow and authenticity…I think some new ground has been broken here. Many solo shows which deal with autobiographical material concerning abuse tinker too much with the truth of it…I came away deeply moved by this production. I needed time to “process” it and let go of it before sleep. I woke up with it still there, like shadows and a few warmer echoes. This is a very special piece of theatre in an intimate setting. It has to be one of the must see solo shows at the Fringe.” http://fringereview.co.uk/review/edinburgh-fringe/2014/belfast-boy/

“Director/writer Kat Woods has created the launch pad and tight dynamics for Perring’s remarkable physicality, fuelled by the cadences of the dialogue, to create a sustained, emotional rollercoaster that keeps you guessing right up to the end as to where it’ll go next.” http://www.thestage.co.uk/edinburgh-reviews/73219/belfast-boy

★★★★★ Edinburgh Guide

“Kat Woods’ sparse set and carefully crafted direction allows …the freedom to draw the audience into his world as the true-life story of Hall…physically engaging and emotionally compelling…It is to Woods’s credit therefore that her writing depicts a character who is not quite off-the-rails but yet not quite clean-cut: this piece shows a complex human being in all his glory.” http://www.edinburghspotlight.com/2014/08/review-–-purple-penguin-productions-belfast-boy/
